Whats wrong with trying to win IM? I'm a little confused.

Why compete with real teams when you can get the IM paycheck?

It's just a little annoying that teams that can compete in invite this season aren't going to and are probably going to win something in IM. I understand powah since he's visa is denied and he's never going to be able to go to LAN. It's not a huge deal, but people will be annoyed when teams have to constantly win against worse teams to stay alive.

don't know where the 5 season number comes from lol. if rr wanted to stay roamer, we would have just played with unff again and done invite. instead, he wanted to try playing demo in IM. i'd rather play with people I like or don't play at all.

so just have rr try playing demo in invite...?

I guarantee you guys would finish ahead of all the new invite move-ups

red_rage

except he wants to play demo in IM and scrim 2 nights a week. why is that hard to grasp?

so if classic mixup decided to go to IM because platinum could only play two nights a week, that would be ok?

your team belongs in invite

it is too good for IM

Platinum ≠ rr

irrelevant, if the team is invite-level they should be in invite

ok you can make the same argument for down to pound, they were in the invite poll and didn't wanna play it so why don't you go give them shit to? im sure if rick wanted to build an invite roster or an HRG reform he can too but hes playing IM as well. you really need to stop its hurting my brain

while I think that blank's team should have been in the invite poll mustardoverlord's stupidity here is just painful

I don't care about individual players, or some potential team that could exist. I just care about teams now.

bl4nk's team is better than down to pound, better than the current HRG (which is also a tad suspect for IM but they still have a few players with less experience, unlike bl4nk's team which is 5 ex-inviters and youmustmike), better than vector, better than xensity, better than AG, and prolly at the same level as Laser Beams or Chess Club. they should be in invite.

down to pound won't stomp every single IM team I think.

which is why what matters is how said teams stack up compared to the teams that DID make it in

its yz50 and enigma scout, tlr roam, plat pocket, ruwin medic, and harbleu demo.

sources have told me this

dont worry i will just call rr's asian dad and tell him he's skipping homework to play tf2

modem pulled in the middle of our match = ez victory

The Swift has spoken.

its cool mustard mad men just want to sand bag IM rather than losing in invite, only to break up mid season. some people just cant handle invite.

wasn't blank the one who quit because invite caused too much "stress"?

god forbid someone challenge themselves by playing in a harder division. sounds like an excuse.

There's a big difference on Mad Men with powah and without powah. Also with rr off classing or playing soldier. And i'm pretty sure you don't need a visa to come to the usa for 2 days. Just a passport. Let them play in IM.

I don't know how, but mustard was able to insult both im and invite players simultaneously

it's way too early to be crying about teams "sandbagging" in IM. there's always been teams that seem like they'll just straight up steamroll the division, and yet how many of those teams actually end up winning without a significant challenge posed by other IM teams? Have some faith in the division, teams always rise to the challenge.

I don't actually know where to side on this, but I think the real question is.
how many seasons of IM is a team allowed to win before they aren't allowed to stay in IM anymore?
When is too much?

no you fucking idiot

and losing is never an issue when you're with friends

You do need a visa. Tried to get my family in the US for a weekend for a wedding and it was still a hassle after showing them the wedding invitations and all. We ended up having to pull some strings with an ambassador.

Uh, no. Plenty of foreigners have had visa issues for SC2. You need visas.

depends on the country, USA has a visa waiver program with a bunch of countries but Brazil isn't on the list

Can we stop whining about IM teams that may or may not be sandbagging? I thought this thread was for talking about Invite rumors. I watched Lange's stream and when Laser Beams scrimmed Mix^, Ruwin was on scout, Harb on med, and Alexwut on demo. And then I've seen shade playing for B4nny's team, so it looks like most likely KBK will be med for tyrone's team?

wow rude
